Usa Bassin 3/26

[smallmouth man]

Any word on if the USA Bassin tourney is still on for tomorrow? Weather.com is saying tomorrow will be High 39 and rain/snow. I bet they will keep the date, but I think it'll be a low turn out.

First, I am not fishing it, but once the schedule is set I think it should be stuck with at all costs and only changed if absolutely necessary......tournament fishing is all about being able to adjust to the conditions......

Well, We fished the Tourney. I was bad. Mid-Upper 30's, Rain/Sleet, and out of 9 boats only 6 lasted till 3pm. Only 3 boats had fish. Only 2 boats had limits. 9 lbs won and 7 lbs took 2nd. Both boats went up the pomme river where you could find 53 degree water. Only one fish in the whole tourney was caught outside the pomme river. 1st place said one fish was caught on jig and would not say much else about how they caught their fish. Water is about 15 feet high and main lake is around 46 degrees. One boat was back in by 10am. He said he had "froze out".

Sounds like some tough conditions.

Thanks for the report. I will be fishing this weekend and the weather should be better, but I am not counting on the fishing being great. Any other help you can give me would be great.
